There should not be a 'nand' command, a 'sf' command and certainly not another 'spi-nand'. Write a 'mtd' command instead to manage all MTD devices at once. This should be the preferred way to access any MTD device.
So are you planning to integrate sf, nand command in future, adding them dm conversion of many stuff. I would like to reommend to go with spinand command. I have been through this and finally added spinor command, which I will going to in soon. once all are converted to dm, it would be easy and meaningfull to have common command.
I'm not sure we are in sync about this. The whole point of the previous discussion was to decide whether or not we should make full use of the MTD stack or not. I think it was pretty clear on the fact that people prefer to be close to Linux's architecture on this regard.
MTD being an abstraction of the type of memory, I don't get the point in creating yet another command each time a new type of device is supported. The fact that all the drivers of these devices register to the MTD layer makes it trivial to interact with. So why should we wait?
Thanks, Miquèl
